Reconstruction of Griffith Base Hospital has made significant progress today when the groundwork was laid in the new Clinical Services Building.
While the renovation of the non-clinical services building is now complete, the clinical services building looks like a completely different beast, housing surgical wards, wards, maternity wards and more.
Deputy Prime Minister Paul Tull, Murray member Helen Dalton and Regional Health Minister Broni Taylor came out to mark the event, along with local councilors and MLHD representatives.
The $ 250 million renovation has been planned for many years, so participants were pleased to see that the project is starting to be implemented, but the planned completion date in 2025 is years away.
Ms. Taylor said the development is the largest investment in health infrastructure in the region.
“The new building has also been designed to improve patients’ experiences and outcomes, as well as expand access to outpatient services including renal dialysis and oncology.
“It will also include a special short-stay mental health unit for people over the age of 16 with four beds specifically designed for teens and young adults.”
The modern clinical care building will include:
- improved emergency department;
- a significant increase in specialized geriatric and rehabilitation beds;
- new operating rooms;
- surgical and inpatient wards, including four beds for support
- patients experiencing mental illness
- motherhood, medical imaging and pediatrics; and
- expanded outpatient services with more specialized clinics, renal and
- oncology services
MLHD CEO Jill Ladford thanked the clinicians who helped develop what the new hospital would look like, as well as those who are at St. Vincent Hospital, which will be co-located on campus.
“Everything is under one roof. Our clinicians, who are here today, have worked hard to design and plan what this building will look like inside,” she said.
The tender for the next phase of development was recently won by ADCO Development after the preclinical services building was completed by Hutchinson Builders.
Murray member Helen Dalton really wanted to see the development.
“It’s very important for our region, we had a very old hospital here that was first built around the 1930s, so having a new facility is just fantastic.”
Almost everyone present said they hoped the investment would attract more work to the regions and ease some pressure on the hospital’s current staff.
